Every dollar Elon Musk has made is traceable. Every product sold, every service rendered, every government contract awarded, every share of stock bought or sold. It’s all on the record.
You, on the other hand, haven’t built a company, invented a product, or created anything people willingly pay for. You’ve spent the last 14 years collecting a $174,000 Senate salary.
Yet somehow you managed to buy a luxury D.C. condo, a $4 million Victorian mansion in Cambridge, and saw your net worth balloon by 150% to $12 million. Everyone knows where Musk’s money came from. The same can’t be said for yours.
.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
@benjamincowen I think I know exactly who you have in mind when you write this, but you don’t name him because he has never taken a shot at you. You’re a pretty peaceful guy until they ask for it 😆
@bigpey The sun raises in the east and sets in the west… that’s about as obvious as what you just wrote. But you also managed to simultaneously complain about it.
@HolgerCardano24@IagonOfficial Gave up reading half way. Pure emotional reaction, 0 logic. You presented 0 objective argument…. It’s all opinion and would you dare and who deserves what… not a trace of objectivity. Vote however you want but don’t trick yourself into thinking you’re objective
@ArthurB@Altimor We don’t think in words. We think in images and emotions. As the saying goes, an image is worth a thousand words. You seem to be off by multiple orders of magnitude
@dangambardello lol…. If this is a real question and not another attention grab, I’ll answer you. But if you’re just gonna shrug it, no point in wasting the time
@DrewDynamite04 I think DMs from people you don’t follow go to a spam type of chat in X. It’s about making an ai movie; it came up in one of your episodes back in feb which is when I initially DM’d you. Feel free to shoot me a message or email me, [email protected]
